Sometimes you have to wonder if architects secretly want to take over the world. Maybe it's the planes of black-tinted glass, the jutting angles, or the sweeping archways that differentiate a "headquarters" and a "compound" but sometimes you look at a building and it just plain gives you the WILLIES.
